The wedding will be held in a room that has curved outer walls. There are thirteen ledges (each 7 feet long) separated with wooden support beams. I'm going to use thirteen lamps like the one in this picture as well as a garland of ivy to decorate each ledge. I received 10 of the lamps from a dear friend and coworker (she created them for her daughter's wedding a little over a year ago). All that I had to do was re-glue some of the flowers and replace a few batteries and bulbs. I have three more to make but my friend helped me gather the necessary materials as well as modify the battery-operated candles that are used to illuminate the porcelain lamps. Aren't they dainty? My friend used them to decorate the tables at her daughter's reception. They'll do an awesome job of brightening up the sides of the church during the ceremony. I plan to use some modified and enhanced white pew bows to decorate the wooden support beams. All side decorations will be light and more "traditional" wedding fare but the altar arrangements, like the flowers we'll carry, will be vibrant color.
Here is a picture of the ledges and supports:
In other news, I graduated to regular shoes (of the solid sole, lace type) this past Friday and the Dr. says that if my foot holds up well, I can resume dance lessons with Ed in two weeks--HURRAY! During the time that I was in the walking cast, I had a slight mishap on my stairs (lost my balance) and fell injuring my right shoulder (yeah, yeah, I know, what an accident prone bride-to-be am I!!). MRI results last week showed that I may have a slight tear in my shoulder as well as a serious sprain. Luckily, surgery isn't the answer! I'm going to be doing physical therapy a few times a week and if all goes well the numbness in my arm/hand and pain in my shoulder will go away *fingers crossed.* Right now, I can't lift my arm up or away from my side more than a few inches. Isn't it a grand thing that both Ed and I are LEFT-handed? I managed to make all those flowers with a bum right arm!
I took Ed to his very first Renaissance Fair this weekend. We went to the Bristol Fair which is near Kenosha, Wisconsin. We met two other couples that are long-time friends of mine from Madison, Wi. I went in costume (as did several of my friends) and Ed surprised me by purchasing and then wearing a handsome hunter green ren. shirt. Go Ed!! We really had a nice time sampling the different foods, watching a juggler, a falconer, and a professional insulter as well as checking out the vendors and socializing. Ed is looking forward to going back with me (muahahahaha....another ren. fair addict is born!) [editor's note: Ed says that you won't get a picture of him in tights though, so stop thinking that RIGHT NOW *grin and a wink*]
